I caught this on Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy blog. Utah is moving its state even farther back into the dark ages, with a clumsy attempt to bring religion into the science classroom.

Here is Phil’s post, and here is the original article.
We’re becoming a nation of ignorant, channel surfing, couch potatos, so ignorant of science that we treat scientific theories like “That’s, like, just your opinion man!”. We’re going to be passed by another country, probably China, before I die, and it’s depressing to be watching the death spiral.

I’m going to the Amaz!ng Meeting this weekend in Vegas, where I’ll be surrounded by intelligent people and my brother. Maybe that’s what I need to get back the “faith”.
